Depends on how you define "open". If you just need to read them, you don;t
need OL or OE - open them in notepad.

If you drop the eml's into OL, you'll get a message with the eml attached.

Every Windows system has OE installed - double click on an eml to open it
(click cancel to avoid creating a profile in OE) and you can read it. If you
need to reply, you'll need to create an OE profile and either reply from OE
or export into OL.
